THUNDER BAY -- A potential case of COVID-19 case at Kingsway Park Public School announced on Monday has been confirmed and two more confirmed cases have been added to the count.
Lakehead Public schools issued a release, saying it's not being deemed an outbreak because none of the cases are believed to have spread at the south-side school.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit is identifying close contacts and a public health nurse will be contacting anyone who falls in the category. Close contacts could be someone in the same classroom or who travel to school on the same bus.
Additional measures will be put in place at the school as required.
Earlier on Monday the board said it had dismissed a cohort because of the potential case.
